The Pequod Review:

Bang the Drum Slowly is the second book in Mark Harris's baseball-centered Henry Wiggen series. In it, Wiggen comes to the aid of a teammate diagnosed with a terminal illness. Harris’s prose is sentimental and earnest, but even the grumpiest and most cynical of readers will fail to be moved by Wiggen’s kindness. "From here on in, I rag nobody."
